"That’s true. Nowadays, I’ve got my apprentice at the shop, and my godfather has brought in another apprentice. It’s quite relaxed, and my godmother doesn’t have to go there every day. She’s just at ho helping watch the children."
"Hey, girl, not bad, huh? You’re happy, aren’t you?"
"Don’t tease . I’m quite content."
"How’s Xiao Gu treating you?"
"Really well, too well sotis—I can’t handle it."
"Oh, co on, it’s too good that you’re annoyed—you’re clearly showing off."
Shuhua was a bit embarrassed being talked to that way by Lin Wan.
At noon, Han Yi didn’t let them into the kitchen. Both were pregnant, so they needed to be pampered.
They couldn’t let Aunt Jin be the only one busy, so he decided they should watch the kids while he busied himself in the kitchen.
Sumr als are easy to prepare; they’re all cold dishes.
If it were evening, it would be ideal. They could go to Xiao Gu’s place directly and enjoy so street food together.

"Boss, I’ve done everything you asked to do. Are we going to S City today?"
"What did the old man say?" Chen Haichang sat in the smoke-filled car, with his cigarette half-burned. Taking the chance, he cleared his throat.
"Initially he was surprised, then he cald down, didn’t say anything. No indication he wanted to see you. Seeing him like this, I did as you instructed and left the stuff with him."
Chen Haichang listened to his assistant and scoffed mockingly, "Is his heart made of stone?"
It was as if he was talking to himself, yet it seed like he was asking his assistant. The assistant was montarily unsure whether to respond or not.
Chen Haichang said, "Let’s go to S City. Also, tell the n to hurry up with the work."
"Everything’s arranged, just waiting for the boss to head over there."
"Alright, let’s set off this afternoon."
This ti, Chen Haichang was going to S City ostensibly to visit Lin Wan’s factory, but in reality, he was planning to discuss Ye Qing’s matters with Li Kaiying.
Of course, he was a person who never did anything without personal gain.
He was kindly helping Ye Qing, but it was also for his own benefit.
Ye Qing, that woman, was determined to attach herself to i Langchi. Since that was the case, why not give her so support?
i Langchi was about to co out, and it was heard that i Erqing wanted to acknowledge that illegitimate son.
But he thought too naively; he wouldn’t let him have his way.

"Did your brother and sister-in-law leave? How could they bear to go?"
"Who knows, they said they felt uneasy living here and wanted to go back and take care of their small plot of land. They’re hoping to find so way to earn money at ho." Shi Lan said dismissively.
"It’s just as well they went back; I was pretty annoyed by that sister-in-law of mine. Now that they’re gone, it’s a lot quieter." Lin Wan and Han Yi have spent this ti either at the mother-in-law’s or visiting Grandma at the cousin’s place.
Today, after Han Yi arrived, he ran into Ning Jiang, and now they’re off together to visit old leaders at the base.
Shi Lan was so happy today because her brother’s wife’s family left.
Who knew, the mont Shi Lan finished talking about her sister-in-law’s family, sothing happened when Lin Wan visited Grandma again the next day.
Originally, she ca today intending to check out the factory since Shunchang’s boss arrived today.
However, as soon as she got to her cousin’s place, her cousin grabbed her to talk about sothing.
That was Aunt talked to Shen Rong about a prospect; the conditions were excellent. He’s also divorced, but his wife died of illness.
The man currently works at a steel factory as a technician, earning a decent wage, and he has a daughter who’s already in elentary school.
A second marriage in parents’ eyes, having a daughter is better than a son. A daughter will be married off when grown, less to worry about.
"Aunt is pleased, but Shen Rong is unwilling. Shen Rong currently has a psychological aversion to marriage and only wants to raise the child well, earn her own money, and support herself and the child. Sigh, Grandma tried convincing my mother-in-law the other day, but she didn’t listen. She said Shen Rong is still young and has more options now. If she waits two more years, as she gets older, she won’t et such good prospects anymore."
"What does Shen Rong really think now?"
"Exactly, I’ve watched her bit by bit, shaped by life over these years, especially after having the child. She’s co to understand the difficulties parents face, much more mature now. Ever since, she’s had thoughts of divorcing Li Chang."
"Sigh..." Knowing and correcting one’s mistakes is a good thing. No one is perfect.
"Rongrong disagrees, but now she’s living at my mother-in-law’s place. She doesn’t want to see him, so my mother-in-law brought the man ho anyway, leaving her no choice. She ca over yesterday asking if she could temporarily stay with us. If not, she’s planning to rent a place. A woman alone with a child, relying on the little money from the divorce, can’t work currently, daily expenses for herself and the child require money. Renting a place, she won’t have much left. Grandma is against it, and your cousin is also not in favor. You don’t know, last night your cousin talked with about getting a place for his sister. Sigh, you see, after all, it’s still family that matters. No matter how wrong a sister might be, she’s still your sister."
